\"book<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Loves gold<\/a> – check.
Lives in gated community – check.
Breathes fire – not your average rich teen girl!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being the youngest following super-talented brothers is rarely easy, and being told she can’t attempt the coming-of-age quest means that Sky will try even harder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gold sings to her blood – yep, wyvern<\/a> is the more socially acceptable name for were-dragon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her impulsive nature wars against the detailed planning needed to successfully steal the artifact that Mom coveted, but Sky is determined to succeed, with a little help from her friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s your favorite family-first story?

My book talk<\/strong>: Sky wants to restore her family’s status within their exclusive Colorado mountain community, so she does what any 16-year-old wyvern would – attempt the heist scripted by Mom and get back their gold, all their gold and more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human on the outside, dragon on the inside, Sky longs to complete her first quest and erase some of the shame brought on her family by Mom’s disappearance during a heist gone wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, that arcane artifact is in a vault in her boyfriend’s family mansion so he must know ways around the chief were-dragon’s magic protections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unluckily, Ryan dumped Sky when her family’s worth plunged at the Reckoning. So much for being soulmates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curiously, a human girl at school might be able to help, if only Sky were allowed to tell her that wyverns live right here\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A caper story, a friendship story, a betrayal story, a family-first story – soar with Sky as she uncovers deep secrets high in the Rockies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
